Don't say cause Sheed messed up. Because if you say that I will say, and correctly so in rebuttal, that it was Brown's coaching that put set up the defense on that play and his lack of proper coaching that kept Sheed from being in the proper position to defend the shot.

The year the Pistons lost to the Spurs in 2004-05, we had Big-Ben and the other 4 guys were all 2 years younger than last year.

Because no season is set in stone. Whether or not he won both titles isn't really the issue here. He put the team in the position to content for the Title both years he was here by getting to the Finals. So, by that measure LB was a great coach IRREGARDLESS of the performance we've seen so far from Saunders.

Getting to the Finals is a feat Saunders has failed to accomplish two years running EVEN with a team that everyone was screaming about being better than the title team and winning 64 games WITH essentially a gold road to the finals the way the playoffs played out this season.

The issue is Saunders lacks the X's and O's and the personnel management skills to get the job done and don't give me any crap about Darko...I'm talking players that matter (top 7).

The only problem with the logic here is that Sheed admitted he was supposed to stay home and he screwed up....so there goes the argument that LB coached it poorly.

Not to mention he got two different teams to the NBA finals. (Philly and Detroit. He ran into Shaq and Kobe as the Philly coach.) A total of three trips. Seems he got Indiana pretty far along one year too. And his record of getting mediocre teams into the playoffs is very impressive indeed.

Now, as good as Brown was, there is potential, and there is results. If Brown could have concentrated a bit more on winning, and less on whining, who knows what he could have done. The only example I will bring up is this. He wins a title for us, and what does he do? Starts whining. Starts looking for his dream job. A very disinterested Brown still got the Pistons to within a quarter of basketball of winning back to back titles. If only he could stay focused on winning.

Because he coached a bunch of jackasses that decided that no matter how good a coach he was, they weren't going to listen. They also knew that because his coaching pedigree preceded him, they wouldn't be the blame when it turned into a disaster because he was supposed to be the "solution" and it didn't pan out.

Yeah, but I gotta agree with Lee to a degree. LB did start to lose focus after winning the title. I thought he was money in the playoffs, but his lost focus affected his tenure with the franchise, and what could have been an amazing run.
